I appreciate it.i lived in Vancouver wa my entire life. it's amazing to see the changes. ....its not ur fault people are not observant to what they are clicking on.

Cool shots

My birthplace. Thank you for sharing.

I love my friends in Washington State & Oregon ... and it’s all very fascinating the history of how our nations came to be.

Fort Vancouver was the HQ of the Hudson Bay Company's Columbia division. There was no international border then, and no Canada to speak of either.

There was a “Canada” to speak of, just no Canada an independent confederation. The term Canada began being used in 1608.

It’s very fascinating how much influence Captain George Vancouver had in his time ... many places & topographical features have been named after him. Meanwhile, it’s perplexing to me why Vancouver, Washington wouldn’t have simply kept its original name of Fort Vancouver to distinguish itself from the larger more famous Vancouver 🇨🇦. On a tourism marketing perspective this would be a better choice. They should really sell themselves on this older history.

Love the old pictures but seems Vancouver doesn’t believe in keeping many historical buildings, not even the theatre! At least you have the library!

@marfmaster Actually Vancouver, BC was incorporated something like 30 years after Vancouver, WA. In addition, there is evidence of Vancouver, WA being referred to as "Vancouver" some 60 years prior to Vancouver, BC. But sure....

Nice work

Just wondering about The Schofield Building ... are there any efforts to refurbish this lovely old heritage site and recreate that lovely cornice & other architectural design details?

Can I get the track list? That was fantastic choice of music.

@wins457 If you're referring to Vancouver, BC, it was originally called Burrard and started out in Gastown.

It's not Vancouver, BC, but Vancouver, Washington, USA.

@thanksimdeadnow I knew something was wrong when I saw Clark County..?

@VinylToVideo I agree! I wish they would label this Vancouver, WA. Then and Now...

@dollarvideodownunder I'm from Van, BC - and it was never the capital of anything. New Westminster was, though.

When we take pictures of Vancouver in the US it is in Washington. Vancouver BC is in a different country. The mixup happens to us all the time. When I say I am from Vancouver they assume a different country. At one point there was a drive to change the name to Fort Vancouver Washington to differentiate but nothing came of it. I live right near the actual Fort Vancouver close to the Columbia River. Vancouver BC is a beautiful city in a lovely country. As for here I remember those cow pastures and farms all along 164th. It really really changed. The population was around 80 thousand then and it has more than doubled since then! Wow.

Yeah they really should've stated Washington in the title. Was wondering how I've missed seeing all these buildings as we've got the exact same street names.

@wtfialreadydid If only your comment made sense... I could respond better.

FUNNY. Seeing as how you copied us ;) Vancouver WA- Founded 1857 Vancouver BC- Founded 1886 Math was kinda hard for all of us so I'll help you; that was 29 years before BC. So technically we're the original, have a nice day!

Generic Name yeah except Paris France came first just like Vancouver Washington

Vancouver WA is just a suburb of Portland eh... they shoulda coulda renamed it to somethin like North Portland or Clarksville or Columbia city... it's not too late ! lol but in all fairness y'all down there named it first, SO the Canadian's (British at the time) were stupid enough to rename the original name "Granville" (which sounds more "Grand" lol but it is too late to change it now ... we are on the world MAP!! ;)
